The L.A. RESCUE Speedgear Harness is the backbone for all of our speedgear packs and accessories. The speedgear system allows you to carry whatever you need to sustain yourself on the fireline or U.S.A.R. incident. The speedgear harness allows for many different configurations of our packs and accessories. The speedgear's different load carrying options help reduce fatigue while working. Because of the energy cost of lifting and supporting a load on your back while working is significant, the speedgear lets you carry most of your gear on the waist belt. Military studies show that people can work and maneuver best in activities like firefighting and emergency work with loads concentrated on the hips.
